**Aligarh BSA Celebrates Son’s 60% Marks, Offers Encouragement Amidst CBSE Results**

**Aligarh, May 15, 2024** – The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced its Class 10th and 12th results on Tuesday, with girls outperforming boys in both examinations. However, there was a noticeable dip in the number of students scoring above 90% compared to previous years. The pass percentage for Class 12th stood at 88.39%, while Class 10th saw a pass percentage of 93.66%.

Amidst the results, a heartwarming post by Aligarh Basic Shiksha Adhikari (BSA), Rakesh Singh, celebrating his son’s achievement of securing 60% in the Class 12th exams, has gone viral.

Singh took to social media platform ‘X’ to express his joy and offer encouragement to students who may not have performed as expected. In his post, Singh wrote, “My son, Rishi, has passed the intermediate examination with 60%. Congratulations and best wishes, son! When I congratulated him, he asked if I was upset with the low marks. I told him that I am not upset. I am happier today than I was even after my own selection because you have 60%. I got only 52% in my graduation.”

He further advised students and parents not to be disheartened by lower scores or failures, stating, “We can start life from anywhere, anytime.” He shared his own experiences of struggling with general knowledge during his university entrance exams but still achieving success in the Public Service Commission examination, scoring 80% in history despite lacking prior knowledge.

Singh appealed to parents not to force children to fulfill their own unfulfilled dreams and emphasized the importance of providing support and a healthy environment. “Life is not a test of knowledge, but a test of patience,” he wrote. He highlighted his own achievement of securing the first rank in the PES cadre in the 2000 Public Service Commission examination as an example of what can be achieved with determination.

The BSA’s post resonated with many users online. One user wrote, “First time seeing a parent doing this, and when parents do this, the child definitely does well in life.” Another user praised Singh’s perspective, noting the societal pressure to achieve high marks.
